Am fairly warm at the mo, despite a rotten day weather-wise. It's been cool, damp, wet & yes very Autumnal. Gas fire on & daughter gone back to bed! It was just after 2am when she got back from work & then OH got up & left by 5.30am & the police helicopter was somewhere around for ages in the night, so I'm tired too!
We've been down at Lowry outlet mall & nearby retail park. Got myself a fleece buff, as planned, & a new rucksack. My old one hasnt got covered seams & so when it rains no guarentee stuff stays dry inside. Will still use older one though until those seams do break! Daughter got herself a new super dooper suitcase to replace her old one, which she insisted we kept, so it went up into the loft with the others. No idea where she'll keep this new one- not in the spare bedroom that's for sure!
Have decided not to get cross about being unable to cut the lawn. It's not that long & am not proud of it, as just a green space between beds. That way IF we get a couple of dryish days can then do a cut, but may not.... Bulb pots/planting more important.
Got on to the heating/electrical company first thing this morning & someone coming Wednesday morning. They also do supply & fit new boilers so will discuss that on Wed. Drat, as was going down to NWorcs to meet up with friend, but boiler/heating takes priority. Will rearrange with friend, she already knows wed off, but, as she is also having a household crisis her end, no problems.
Found a nice 3 in 1 new waterproof coat whilst out, but needed the size they'd not got in store & it's not on web site either in the size/colour I want. Oh well not to be. The old one will continue in use a bit longer & get increasingly scruffier.
None of the 50ps were special ones we did have quite a lot between us, for some reason.
Right off to start a tomato rissotto next. Was going to do ratatoue, but it takes longer so will probably do tomorrow.

There are some things that should not be eaten,cucumber, courgettes, pumpkins marrows fall into that category
I had horsemeat on holiday
I have been educated. I didn't know that gherkins are related to cucumbers. However, I'll pass on the fried cucumber and candied watermelon rind
Dreary from Corrie cooks a stuffed marrow dish when she has visitors.What a sad life I lead
It is her signature dish -aren't gherkins just pickled cucumbers-like a nice gherkin
Flo, I shall look out for you when I get my car back ( that's if I don't hear you first )
And Geoff, how could you ?
It was in the reduced section in a supermarket-so was probably pony-and it had pictures of horses in fields on the packaging
You have to try things-would have it again-first catch your horsey
Hi all, glad people's w/ends & parties went well.

Dean they look interesting I will do some investigating, my garden is not very big so I have some thinking to do.
Gary I will write to Nigella I am sure that she will oblige.
I have ate rabbit by mistake
Well- as long as you don't eat the hooves- it honestly is just like steak-was very tender-if you didn't know you wouldn't know the difference
Rat is lovely
Think I will delay dinner
Kate, I ate goat once on hols - that was a BIG mistake.
